One of the quiet winners in the mobile space last year was the Moto Z Play. With mid-range specs, a solid premium build, compatibility with Moto Mods, and battery life that isn’t rivaled by anyone else, all for under $500, the Z Play easily became one of the best options on the market and now, it’s getting even better.

The best gifts for Android users

Just like the Verizon update, Android Nougat for the unlocked Moto Z Play is a clean version of the OS, just like on Google’s Nexus and Pixel devices. That means Moto Z Play owners will get enhanced multitasking capabilities with multi-window and “quick switch” as well as customizable quick settings and tiles from specific apps on your device. Further, Moto Z Play owners will get bundled notifications and improved notification controls along with some small support updates for Moto Mods.
